Hodges-Lehmann-estimate: Hodges-Lehmann estimate

Description

Calculates the Hodges-Lehmann estimate.

Usage

HL.estimate(x, na.rm = FALSE, IncludeEqual = FALSE)

Arguments

x

vector of observations.

na.rm

a logical value indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

IncludeEqual

FALSE (default) calculates median of ([x[i]+x[j])/2) with i<j. TRUE calculates median of ([x[i]+x[j])/2) with i<=j.

Value

If x is not logical (coerced to numeric), numeric (including integer) or complex, NA_real_ is returned, with a warning.
